Electrocardiography Services for Pets
in Central Virginia
Your pet’s heart health plays a vital role in their overall well-being. At Preddy Creek Animal Clinic, we offer on-site electrocardiography (ECG) services to evaluate your pet’s heart function and detect potential cardiac abnormalities. With our advanced technology and access to veterinary cardiology specialists, we provide accurate assessments and expert guidance to keep your pet’s heart healthy.
What Is an Electrocardiogram (ECG)?
An electrocardiogram is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of your pet’s heart. This simple yet powerful tool helps our veterinarians detect irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), evaluate heart rate and rhythm, and identify underlying cardiac issues that might not be noticeable during a physical exam. The test is quick, painless, and performed while your pet is calm and comfortable.
Advanced On-Site Testing and Specialist Collaboration
Our clinic is equipped to perform ECG technology during surgical procedures to detect potential cardiac abnormalities under anesthesia, allowing our team to monitor your pet’s heart health in real-time while they are in our care. In cases that require further evaluation, we refer to local board certified cardiology specialists who review the recordings and provide comprehensive cardiac workups for expert recommendations. This seamless partnership ensures that your pet receives the highest level of cardiac care without unnecessary delays.
Supporting Heart Health Through Every Life Stage
Whether your pet is undergoing anesthesia, showing signs of heart disease, or entering their senior years, electrocardiography helps us monitor their heart function safely and effectively. Early detection of cardiac issues can make all the difference — allowing for timely treatment and a better quality of life.
